I wait quietly before God, for my victory comes from him, He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken. -Psalm 62:1-2 (NLT)
WAITING QUIETLY
A poem and essay by ILMA
What is troubling you today?
Do you want this thing out of your way?
Are you waiting quietly for God to bring victory?
Do you interfere with His plans repeatedly?
Triumph comes from letting your mind be renewed
Allow God to take control and work in you and through you
Be still and believe that he is your rock and fortress
He will never allow you to be defeated or be broken.

ADHD, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, is a medical condition that affects how well someone can sit still, focus, and pay attention. People with ADHD have differences in the parts of their brains that control attention and activity. This means that they may have trouble focusing on some tasks and subjects. They may be hyperactive and unable to control their impulses. In children, the common symptoms are hyperactivity and inattention. In adults, symptoms include impulsiveness, disorganization, poor time management and prioritizing skills, trouble planning or multitasking, excessive activity or restlessness and low frustration tolerance. Our fast paced world probably turned us all into ADHD’s.
God can only work if we wait quietly and be still. Only by resting and trusting in him, can we have victory.
PRAYER
Lord, free us from restlessness and unbelief.
REFLECTION
Why do you think God requires us to be still and rest in him?

Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him. -Psalm 37:7(NLT)
WAIT PATIENTLY AND BE STILL
A poem and essay by ILMA
What stops you from keeping still?
Is it your work or is what you feel?
Is it something you want and desire?
Is it ambition that keeps you on fire?
Whatever you are waiting for in this life
Have patience and soon you’ll see the light
You will be rewarded when you wait patiently
It will bring you a life that will last eternally.

The world has been generating the culture of getting everything quickly. We have been programmed to believe that we are entitled to so many things. We get irritated and upset when we don’t get things swiftly. When we line up in the cash tills, we get frustrated when the cashier is taking so much time to finish with someone. Everyone is running and seems to be in this whirlpool of “busy-ness.” It seems like no one has time for others or even for themselves.
The bible has repeatedly been emphasizing the importance of being still and waiting patiently. Waiting for the Lord to answer prayers is not a passive act. It entails trust and hope that what you prayed for is coming and that you are eagerly expecting it to be granted even before you receive it. Like a child excitedly waiting, we too must have that faith that it is coming.
PRAYER
Lord, grant me an expectant heart.
REFLECTION
When was the last time you waited on the Lord so eagerly and patiently?

Those who know your name trust in you, for you, O Lord, do not abandon those who search for you.– Psalm 9:10(NLT)
WAITING ON GOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Whenever problems and challenges beset you
Do you run to God and ask him his point of view?
Seek him and you will find peace and hope
He always gives you strength so you can cope.
Those who know him by name have no shame
They live in his mercy and they never blame
Wait on God, he will never abandon his children
Search for him and you will find a place in heaven.

Trust is defined by the New American Standard Bible (NASB) as careless, complacent, confident, fall down, felt secure. I used to be a Drama teacher and one exercise I asked my students to do is to have a partner and completely trust their partners behind them that they will catch them if they fall. Those who followed instructions and had confidence in their partners safely landed on them. Those who doubted, fell.
The bible tells us to put our trust in Jesus for he never abandons those who seek him. The hardest thing to do is to wait on God to answer our prayers. Most of the time we think that he doesn’t grant our requests because we have limited minds. To believe that he has our best interest at heart is to wait on him.
PRAYER
Lord, teach me how to trust completely.
REFLECTION
What have you asked God lately that you are still waiting for an answer?
